The Elite Plan

The Elite Plan for a New World Social Order

By Richard K. Moore

When the Industrial Revolution began in Britain, in the late
1700s, there was lots of money to be made by investing in factories and mills,
by opening up new markets, and by gaining control of sources of raw materials.
The folks who had the most money to invest, however, were not so much in
Britain but more in Holland. Holland had been the leading Western power in the
1600s, and its bankers were the leading capitalists.

In pursuit of profit, Dutch capital flowed to the British
stock market, and thus the Dutch funded the rise of Britain, who subsequently
eclipsed Holland both economically and geopolitically.

In this way British industrialism came to be dominated by
wealthy investors, and capitalism became the dominant economic system. This led
to a major social transformation. Britain had been essentially an aristocratic
society, dominated by landholding families. As capitalism became dominant
economically, capitalists became dominant politically. Tax structures and
import-export policies were gradually changed to favour investors over
landowners.

It was no longer economically viable to simply maintain an
estate in the countryside: one needed to develop it, turn it to more productive
use. Victorian dramas are filled with stories of aristocratic families who fall
on hard times, and are forced to sell off their properties. For dramatic
purposes, this decline is typically attributed to a failure in some character,
a weak eldest son perhaps. But in fact the decline of aristocracy was part of a
larger social transformation brought on by the rise of capitalism.

The business of the capitalist is the management of capital,
and this management is generally handled through the mediation of banks and
brokerage houses. It should not be surprising that investment bankers came to
occupy the top of the hierarchy of capitalist wealth and power. And in fact,
there are a handful of banking families, including the Rothschilds and the
Rockefellers, who have come to dominate economic and political affairs in the
Western world.

Unlike aristocrats, capitalists are not tied to a place, or
to the maintenance of a place. Capital is disloyal and mobile – it flows to
where the most growth can be found, as it flowed from Holland to Britain, then
from Britain to the USA, and most recently from everywhere to China. Just as a
copper mine might be exploited and then abandoned, so under capitalism a whole
nation can be exploited and then abandoned, as we see in the rusting industrial
areas of America and Britain.

This detachment from place leads to a different kind of
geopolitics under capitalism, as compared to aristocracy. A king goes to war
when he sees an advantage to his nation in doing so. Historians can ‘explain’
the wars of pre-capitalist days, in terms of the aggrandisement of monarchs and
nations.

A capitalist stirs up a war in order to make profits, and in
fact our elite banking families have financed both sides of most military
conflicts since at least World War 1. Hence historians have a hard time
‘explaining’ World War 1 in terms of national motivations and objectives.

In pre-capitalist days warfare was like chess, each side
trying to win. Under capitalism warfare is more like a casino, where the
players battle it out as long as they can get credit for more chips, and the
real winner always turns out to be the house – the bankers who finance the war
and decide who will be the last man standing. Not only are wars the most
profitable of all capitalist ventures, but by choosing the winners, and
managing the reconstruction, the elite banking families are able, over time, to
tune the geopolitical configuration to suit their own interests.

Nations and populations are but pawns in their games.
Millions die in wars, infrastructures are destroyed, and while the world
mourns, the bankers are counting their winnings and making plans for their
postwar reconstruction investments.

From their position of power, as the financiers of
governments, the banking elite have over time perfected their methods of
control. Staying always behind the scenes, they pull the strings controlling
the media, the political parties, the intelligence agencies, the stock markets,
and the offices of government. And perhaps their greatest lever of power is
their control over currencies. By means of their central-bank scam, they
engineer boom and bust cycles, and they print money from nothing and then loan
it at interest to governments. The power of the elite banking gang (the
‘banksters’) is both absolute and subtle…

Some of the biggest men in the United States are afraid of
something. They know there is a power somewhere, so organised, so subtle, so
watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not
speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

It was always inevitable, on a finite planet, that there
would be a limit to economic growth. Industrialisation has enabled us to rush
headlong toward that limit over the past two centuries. Production has become
ever more efficient, markets have become ever more global, and finally the
paradigm of perpetual growth has reached the point of diminishing returns.

Indeed, that point was actually reached by about 1970. Since
then capital has not so much sought growth through increased production, but
rather by extracting greater returns from relatively flat production levels.
Hence globalisation, which moved production to low-waged areas, providing
greater profit margins. Hence privatisation, which transfers revenue streams to
investors that formerly went to national treasuries. Hence derivative and
currency markets, which create the electronic illusion of economic growth,
without actually producing anything in the real world.

For almost forty years, the capitalist system was kept going
by these various mechanisms, none of which were productive in any real sense.
And then in September 2008 this house of cards collapsed, all of a sudden,
bringing the global financial system to its knees.

If one studies the collapse of civilisations, one learns
that failure-to-adapt is fatal. Is our civilisation falling into that trap? We
had two centuries of real growth, where the growth-dynamic of capitalism was in
harmony with the reality of industrial growth. Then we had four decades of
artificial growth – capitalism being sustained by a house of cards. And now,
after the house of cards has collapsed, every effort is apparently being made
to bring about ‘a recovery’ – of growth! It is very easy to get the impression
that our civilisation is in the process of collapse, based on the
failure-to-adapt principle.

Such an impression would be partly right and partly wrong.
In order to understand the real situation we need to make a clear distinction
between the capitalist elite and capitalism itself. Capitalism is an economic
system driven by growth; the capitalist elite are the folks who have managed to
gain control of the Western world while capitalism has operated over the past
two centuries. The capitalist system is past its sell-by date, the bankster
elite are well aware of that fact – and they are adapting.

Capitalism is a vehicle that helped bring the banksters to
absolute power, but they have no more loyalty to that system than they have to
place, or to anything or anyone. As mentioned earlier, they think on a global
scale, with nations and populations as pawns. They define what money is and
they issue it, just like the banker in a game of Monopoly. They can also make
up a new game with a new kind of money. They have long outgrown any need to
rely on any particular economic system in order to maintain their power.
Capitalism was handy in an era of rapid growth. For an era of non-growth, a
different game is being prepared.

Thus, capitalism was not allowed to die a natural death.
Instead it was brought down by a controlled demolition. First it was put on a
life-support system, as mentioned above, with globalisation, privatisation,
currency markets, etc. Then it was injected with a euthanasia death-drug, in
the form of real-estate bubbles and toxic derivatives. Finally, the Bank of
International Settlements in Basel – the central bank of central banks – pulled
the plug on the life-support system: they declared the ‘mark-to-market rule’,
which made all the risk-holding banks instantly insolvent, although it took a
while for this to become apparent. Every step in this process was carefully
planned and managed by the central-banking clique.

The End of Sovereignty – Restoring the Ancien Régime

Just as the financial collapse was carefully managed, so was
the post-collapse scenario, with its suicidal bailout programs. National
budgets were already stretched; they certainly did not have reserves available
to salvage the insolvent banks. Thus the bailout commitments amounted to
nothing more than the taking on of astronomical new debts by governments. In
order to service the bailout commitments, the money would need to be borrowed
from the same financial system that was being bailed out!

It’s not that the banks were too big to fail, rather the banksters
were too powerful to fail: they made politicians an offer they couldn’t refuse.
In the USA, Congress was told that without bailouts there would be martial law
the next morning. In Ireland, the Ministers were told there would be financial
chaos and rioting in the streets. In fact, as Iceland demonstrated, the
sensible way to deal with the insolvent banks was with an orderly process of
receivership.

The effect of the coerced bailouts was to transfer
insolvency from the banks to the national treasuries. Banking debts were
transformed into sovereign debts and budget deficits. Now, quite predictably,
it is the nations that are seeking bailouts, and those bailouts come with
conditions attached. Instead of the banks going into receivership, the nations
are going into receivership.

about me

A new counter-culture is now spreading across the planet, a movement dedicated to protesting at the outlandish behaviour of the control freaks, with their surveillance, eavesdropping, secrecy and lies. Their greed and belligerent sabre rattling and their industries of war. The dream is to replace these sociopaths with Love!

I wish this blog to be a small part of this - We must be the change.

We will be set to task to rebuild our world and our planet from centuries of decimation and destruction brought on by the fallacy, the belief that we once tragically and collectively embraced thousands of years ago – the mistaken notion that we are separate from one another and everything else on the planet and in the universe. We will finally recognize that the truth is just the opposite – we are all one with everything on the planet and in the universe. We are spiritual beings, infinite consciousness simply having a human experience, and as soon we come to fully recognize and understand this, it will then finally be time for us to fly – to shine in all of our infinite, glorious possibility...
